I know this is a typo, but that picture in my head made me smile.
Confirmation bias is only dangerous when there is significantly more evidence against the statement. You rarely hear, "we could have saved the day if we had higher damage output!"
- joe5150 13y agoI don't think it was a typo. Shouting usually comes before shooting.
- rtb 13y agoI did mean shouting; it wasn't a typo. I see that the way I phrased it was ambiguous though. :-) I meant that the police generally pull out their gun to emphasise their power and to reinforce their shouts, not always with the intention of actually shooting.
